WinWord 2003 looses images
*I meant 40 megs each
"Prikolist" wrote: I have the same problem (2 docs, about 100 pages/40 gigs each, 1-2 pics per page with text)... Tried it on a few PC's, over 2GHz and over 2GB or RAM, same error. But how come the error comes up, even though I have several extra 100's of MB's of RAM free, and a few gigs of pagefile and free hd space? Just doesn't make sense. And computer isn't lagging while working with the files. And this happened only recently. Previously when working with those and similar in size/type files I always used the "compress pictures" feature and everything worked perfectly flawless. This started a few days ago, coinciding with the time when I installed several Office updates through Microsoft Update, so I suspect that's the true cause of the problem. ---------------Serge "John McGhie [MVP - Word and Word Macinto" wrote: Hi Thorsten: Yeah, Centrinos were build for battery life, not power. :-) I suspect that it's "Graphics Memory" that you have run out of. If you weren't on a laptop, I would advise you to switch the graphics card for one with a lot more memory. A 200 dpi bitmap for a full page graphic will expand in memory to 4 colours x 8 bits x (200 x 8.5) x (200 x 11). That's 119,680,000 bits: nearly 15 megabytes per picture. You now begin to see where you're running out of memory? :-) Try this: Get those images and size them to the size you want to print them at. THEN save them to your hard disk in PNG format. Now insert those in the document. PNG is one of Word's native graphics formats: it doesn't need to expand them so much when it displays them. But I think your real problem is that you shouldn't be attempting this on a Centrino laptop: they haven't got the grunt for it :-) Cheers On 1/4/06 5:13 AM, in article , "Thorsten Claus" wrote: unfortunately this is not the case. I checked this box, too, and I also checked the Print View, the original pictures are gone, but 1 inch square boxes are instead displayed. I created the document myself, current size is about 20 MB. I inserted the pictures with Paste Special - Bitmap and reduced all the bitmaps over the compress command for 200 DPI. I can paste and copy from previous versions of my document, but during further editing, the pictures will vanish again. When I open the document and try to select one of these 1 inch boxes, an error messages says "not enough memory", though my page file is only 600MB (maximum 2GB), and no other applications are open, closed all background stuff like Skype, X1, Outlook, ...) I've got a Centrino 1.66 with 1GB ram, seems to be too little... "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ... When a document contains a lot of graphics and processing power is limited, Word will automatically enable picture placeholders (Tools | Options | View). You can disable this, but don't be surprised if it gets turned on again. -- Suzanne S.

"Thorsten Claus" wrote in message ... Hi there, I have a document with ~100 pages, 60 graphics, and I start loosing images. Instead of the image a clear square of 1" is displayed. Is there a way to recover the images? How do I proceed in the future? Thanks for any help, Thorsten -- Please reply to the newsgroup to maintain the thread.
